Synopsis

Born Maria Sklodowska on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland, Marie Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only woman to win the award in two different fields (physics and chemistry). Curie's efforts, with her husband Pierre Curie, led to the discovery of polonium and radium and, after Pierre's death, the further development of X-rays. She died on July 4, 1934.
Early Life

Maria Sklodowska, better known as Marie Curie, was born in Warsaw in modern-day Poland on November 7, 1867. Her parents were both teachers, and she was the youngest of five children, following siblings Zosia, Józef, Bronya and Hela. As a child Curie took after her father, Wladyslaw, a math and physics instructor. She had a bright and curious mind and excelled at school. But tragedy struck early, and when she was only 10, Curie lost her mother, Bronislawa, to tuberculosis.
A top student in her secondary school, Curie could not attend the men-only University of Warsaw. She instead continued her education in Warsaw's "floating university," a set of underground, informal classes held in secret. Both Curie and her sister Bronya dreamed of going abroad to earn an official degree, but they lacked the financial resources to pay for more schooling. Undeterred, Curie worked out a deal with her sister. She would work to support Bronya while she was in school and Bronya would return the favor after she completed her studies.

For roughly five years, Curie worked as a tutor and a governess. She used her spare time to study, reading about physics, chemistry and math. In 1891, Curie finally made her way to Paris where she enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris. She threw herself into her studies, but this dedication had a personal cost. With little money, Curie survived on buttered bread and tea, and her health sometimes suffered because of her poor diet.

My favourite female scientist of all time is Madame Curie.

# data[].attributes.body
There have been many great women scientists. Marie Curie, Irène Joliot-Curie, Helène Langevin, stood out for their studies in particle physics and their defense of scientific ethics. Emile Noether, mathematics and physics, pioneer in being a university professor. Mary Douglas Leakey, archaeologist, indefatigable researcher. Dorothy Hill, geologist, the first female professor at an Australian university. Lynn Margulis, microbiologist, patient and persevering researcher. Jane Goodall, primatologist and animal rights fighter. Margarita Salas, biochemist, the first woman to investigate molecular biology, with a strong research, teaching and dissemination vocation.

My favourite female scientist is Madam Curie, I read her biography, I was impressed.

# data[].attributes.body
The science female work has been very important since the beginning of time, although in most cases has been blurred by men who led the work; we must claim their courage and effort , and we should enhance the involment and women´s voice in science.
Ones of my favourites female scientists is Hypatia, due to  great advances which she contribute to science, in a relatively early age.
I share a good guide about the most important scientific women in history, with didactic resources for its implementation in classroom.

As I am a teacher of chemistry and because I read beautiful book about Marie Curie, her life as scientist and as women, she is my favorite. Brave and sad life, especially on the its end.

The Slovenian Lučka Bogataj Kajfež Nobel (group) of global  warming, I had the opportunity to meet personally made a remarkable impression on me. It seems very simple, optimistic and willing to cooperate.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not have any favourite one.I think all of them are examples of tenacity .Maybe,because I have had the opportunity to meet he I have a special feeling for Margarita Salas

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most admired scientific woman one by me, has always been Sophie Germain. She has lived a very difficult time for women work to be recognised, even if it was supposes that French Revolution pretended get freedom for everybody.

Lastly , after have watched Hidden Figures, I have began to read about these three fantastic women, Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, who were not only STEM professional in a very difficult time for them, but coloured woman in a time of great human rights fight for them.

The fact of “woman calculators” in this film has made me think a lot over it.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like to remember Margherita Hack not only due to her scientific researches but also for her ability and willingness to divulge her knowledge to an audience as wide as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven´t got any favourite one. All of them have fought for their wishes in a male world. Their courage and tenacity are an example for all of us.

Rita Levi-Montalcini, (22 April 1909 – 30 December 2012) was an Italian Nobel laureate, honoured for her work in neurobiology. She was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with colleague Stanley Cohen for the discovery of nerve growth factor. On 22 April 2009, she became the first Nobel laureate ever to reach the age of 100. At the time of her death, she was the oldest living Nobel laureate.

Many women have marked the history of Science significantly and I remember Vera Cooper Rubin, one of the women's emblems of the world of science, recently disappeared at the age of 88. His studies on the galaxy rotation curves led to the demonstration of the existence of dark matter, the mysterious variable occupying 25% of the Universe and explaining its expansion.
With stubbornness and courage, the American astronomer surpassed the reticence of the scientific community, which only after nearly twenty years recognized them as having revolutionized the system of thinking of the Universe.
It was the second woman to receive the Gold Medal from the Royal Society.

# data[].attributes.body
For me Marie Curie, or Manja Slodowska in Polish, because she worked hard as a governess for five years before going to FRance, in order to study Physics. Her life in Parish was hard, with a lot o handicaps, but she got the degree and started to research in a old and dirty hut at the university of La Sorbona.

Firstly I was going to choose Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall , who is very well-known, but I have decided to choose an unkonown woman who did the first discovers in the field of mathematics.

I am quite impressed by the story of Hady Lamarr (Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, 1914-2000).
She started her studies of engineering being only 16 years old and later, she decided to become an actress, where she shone through in The Hollywood of the years 1930 until 1960. She was forced to marry a possessive man who would not let her develop her potential in the STEM area.
Despite not receiving family support, Hady focused on her research in the field of telecommunications, patenting a wireless telecommunications system that has allowed the development of the WIFI we use all
currently.
I find her case very interesting because it breaks many absurd stereotypes at the same time, she was beautiful, transgressive and very intelligent, with artistic and technical talent. And all this in a very complicated family, social and historical context.

# data[].attributes.body
It's hard to choose, because there are very enlightening examples between them.
I like the influence of Ada Lovelace in computer programming and the life of Hildegard von Bingen, whose music is very special to me.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading the articles, I have been impressed by Rosalind Franklin. she was a woman of great intellectual capacity who established the bases of the DNA, and who did not have any recognitin for such. In fact, she is a forgotten figure of Science. I think that she deserves a great deal of attention.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, and taking into account that I do not belong to the science field, Marie Curie is my favourite female scientist of all times, as despite living in a time when women were constantly misregarded in all áreas, she managed to succeed in her field like no other scientist before, becoming the first female University teacher and earning herself not only one but two Nobel prizes. I can't imagine how much discrimination and opposition she must have found. Tough woman, Marie Curie, uh?

# data[].attributes.body
I want to remember here, Rita Levi Montalcini, a great academic, scientist, medical professional and Educator, she died in 2012 after a life devoted to science. She shared the Nobel Prize in 1986 for physiology for her part in the discovery of a protein that stimulates nerve cell growth. She, at the age of twenty, realized she couldn't possibly adjust to a feminine role as conceived by her father and asked him permission to engage in a professional career. She entered medical school in Turin. I want to quote her words: "Don't fear diffucult moments" the best comes from them". Resiliance is a sort of empowerment for women in their career and, generally in life.

For my all the prominent women deserve to be mentioned and they have my admiration and respect.

Rather then pointing out what one has more then the other , I would rather focus on what they have in common.  I really admire their strength and resilience to be able to follow their dream against all odds and never give up.  I must have been heart breaking to always be told NO and still these women manage to break through all adversity.  That is the message we have to pass on to both our girls and boys: perseverance and determination.

I has a great admiration for Hildegard von Bingen. I discovered her existence not because her scientific work but because her music. It touch me in a way that lead me to investigate about her and I finished fascinated. She played a key roll in the flourishing of science in XIIth century in Europe. Of course, from our present point of view her works might, for someone, seem a bizarre blend between mysticism and logical thinking. However, in her historical contest, she was a brave scholar in the dangerous intellectual cut edge of her time, talking again, after centuries of silence, about the heliocentric theory of Aristarchus of Samos or being the first European to describe the female orgasm.

# data[].attributes.body
First Hipatia. She died defending science as lifestyle.
But I have to say that it was really shocking for me when I read the first time about the live and the achievements of Hedy Lamarr. It's incredible! She develop the system that we use currently in comunications.

I admire Lynn Margulis, (American) she demonstrated that evolution is not (always) about competition but about cooperation and simbiosis. Her work is still to be properly recognised... And to propose a Spanish example, I would chose Margarita Salas... unstoppable, she is 78 and still goes every day to the lab to do some research... admirable! Overall in Spain, taking into account how science has been considered: no department (it is included under economy) and dreadful investement loss.

# data[].attributes.body
I have no special preferences. Marie Curie is an admirable example worthy of imitation, her name figures in science books intended for students ages 11-12.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite scientists are different for several reasons, failing to pick one in particular I make a quick overview of the Italians of the twentieth and twenty-first century.

Rita Levi-Montalcini, whose greatest discovery led her to receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1986, on NGF detection, nerve growth factor or nerve tissue growth factor.

Margherita Hack is the first Italian woman to lead an astronomical observatory.

Samantha Cristoforetti, a flight engineer and engineer, has become one of the symbols of the world of Italian science as astronaut and first Italian woman in ESA (European Space Agency).

Elena Cattaneo, biologist, pharmacologist and scientific divulgator.

Fabiola Gianotti, the first Italian physicist, as well as the first woman, to become the Director-General of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

Lucia Votano, the first Italian physicist to direct the National Laboratories of Gran Sasso, a scientist who deals with international research on neutrinos, called the ghosts of the universe.

Caterina Falleni, the first Italian scientist who wins a scholarship for NASA's Singularity University and the inventor of Freeijis, the first refrigerator that does not need electricity to cool food.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion Hypatia of Alexandria is very important for the time in which she lived and the passion for knowledge she had.
But for me, the most famous and my favorite is Marie Curie, who got two Nobel prizes, something incredible even for a man.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite scientist is Maria Blasco, who heads the National Cancer Research Center. In addition to an outstanding scientist, she has managed to lead one of the leading research centers on cancer in the world. I had the opportunity to listen to her at the University of Alicante and showed real passion for her work.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite female scientist of all time is Rita Levi Montalcini. She is an Italian scientist who was born in Turin on the 22nd April 1909. In 1936, Montalcini graduated from the faculty of medicine at the University of Turin. She later specialized in neurology and psychiatry. What strikes me about this woman is that she set up a home lab in the bedroom several times to continue her research. Until 1977 she remained in the United States, where he carried out the fundamental experiments that led her, in 1951-52, during the experimentation of a mouse tumor transplant on the chicken's embryo nervous system, to the discovery of the nervous growth factor, a protein that plays an essential role in the growth and differentiation of sensory and sympathetic nerve cells. Thanks to this discovery he won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1986.
She is my favorite female scientist because she was a woman without complexes, with a great deal of perseverance in pursuing the road she felt right. She was not afraid of the difficulties she would encounter in carrying out her projects.
